FIA studying Arrows written explaination

As we reported last week, the FIA asked for a written explaination of the recent goings on at Arrows in order to determine if there should be sanctions against the team for not taking place in the Hungarian and Belgian grands prix. A recent FIA statement confirmed that Arrows has complied with the request, and the governing body is reviewing the explaination.

The FIA statement read, "As has been widely reported the FIA requested a written explanation from the Orange Arrows team regarding some of its recent actions in the FIA Formula One World Championship. The FIA has received a communication from Arrows which it is now studying. Any further comment would be inappropriate at this stage."
